Crumb Cake

This cake was inspired by a bakery I lived by growing up…I remember walking through the doors and smelling the rich, buttery smell of the crumb cake.

The cake was rich, and moist and it had soft, buttery crumbs on top that were a mile high, and it was finished off with a dusting of powdered sugar! One bite of this crumb cake has me reliving great memories of childhood as I have come pretty close to recreating the perfect piece of bakery crumb cake.

The secret to this crumb cake’s success is perfectly baked butter cake and the consistency of the crumbs. Take the butter test to see if your butter is just right to make the absolute best crumb mixture!

On warm cake place the crumb topping and place back in oven for 15 minutes

Allow to cool for 10 minutes and dust with powdered sugar

Notes

It is super important to make sure that the butter is softened, but not to soft! Take the softened butter test-if you can press your thumb into the butter and it leaves a little indentation then your butter is crumb perfect.If your crumb mixture is to moist continue to add flour until you reach a moist, crumbly crumb.This recipe calls for a 9 x 13 baking dish!
